| We grew Fordhook for the first time in 2010. The yield was excellent, and the appearance of the squash is really pretty and interesting in the garden. Taste is good, too, and the squash kept with no problems all winter. Will be growing this again. |

| Planted 2 hills and got over 75 squash. The SS catalog says they are rare. Not in my garden. Taste just like any other squash. Nothing really distinct about the flavor. Nice size for one meal. |
